Declaration of Mrs. Sarah Everett In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress— Georgia
Bullock County personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a justice of the peace in and for said County, Mrs. Sarah Everett, widow of John Everett, a revolutionary soldier, who, after being first duly sworn, deposes and says that, by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory, she cannot swear positively as to the precise length of her husband's service in the war; but according to the best of her recollection, he served not less five years in the militia of North Carolina. This declarant states her husband, John Everett entered into the army about the 30th year of his age; that in the course of the war her husband, John Everett was wounded in the shoulder by a rifle ball which remained in his shoulder until the day of his death. He died After the conclusion of the war.

Declarant's husband emigrated to Bulloch County Georgia, in the year 1807 1785 , where he resided un- til the day of his death which happened on the 17th day of November, A. D. 1821 1821, in the 90th year of his age. Declarant testi- fies that she is ninety five years of age, and is so old and infirm that she cannot remem- ber all the particulars of her husband's service. She recollects that her husband went to, and returned from the war a great many times, and that he was wounded in the shoulder at Betty's Bridge on Drowning Creek near Pedee, this Declarant thinks in North Carolina; that her husband, the said John Errett, served under Capt. DeFarnie or D'Garnie from North Carolina. — Declarant thinks that her husband served in company with a man by the name of James Dickett, but her memory might have failed her as she is so old she recollects but few of the events of that remote period. — She remembers dis- tinctly that her husband went to the war frequently. She has seen him with Col. Wade, who declarant thinks lived at Anson Co. N. H.

in North Carolina. She recollects that Col. Thos. Wade, when the Scotch army entered the neighborhood, retreated for Virginia, and declarant, husband followed Col. Wade a few miles, intending to retreat with him into Virginia, but the Colonel advised declarant's husband to return and keep peaceable, as he was not able to retreat. In consequence of the great age of declarant, she cannot recollect any thing more that might throw light on the subject of her husband's service, but she swears positively and is certain, that her husband served at intervals throughout most of the war.
